Yeah, I wondered if it would be a bit later. Oh well.

 

Never know, maybe earlier the "plan" is not set in stone yet.

I am game for as many Datsuns in a row as we can get :thumbup:

As it stands right now I will be available to noon to roll down. Work says I can leave early and since Im Parkland I just just jump up a few exists to the Tacoma Mall and meet up. Im assuming thats the easiest place for everyone?- I mean its right off the freeway.

 

Are there any people that are looking to catch a ride down from the Seattle/Kitsap/Tacoma area? Ive got an empty seat and wouldnt mind taking someone down on the 8th.

Just tell the boarder guards that you need to make it snappy..... they'll understand :lol:

 

Keep us posted on your guys' time and we'll see about a rally point and time that we can hopefully make with you guys.

 

I'm still down for around noon (give or take) at the Taco Mall (we did right next to Krispy Kreme last time) though. It's a good location for multiple cars to meet up and gather before heading out.

I could imagine the looks on their faces :lol:

Problem at the border is the bottle neck of traffic.

 

I think we have delegated this as the "official" caravan thread for all that are going

 

Leaving at noon,dependent on the traffic on the 205 puts you in canby at 3:30 -4:00 ?

Haha, that's just asking for a cavity search, huh?

 

It's about 3 hours at a good pace and without much traffic through PDX, but yeah, it would put us there probably around 3:30-4.

Yeah, we got a little of the traffic last year, but not too bad, and I think we left around noon and made two stops, one at a rest area to unload shit from dude's truck (I can't remember his handle off the top of my head) that was rubbing his wheel wells bare on every damn dip & bump in the pavement, and a stop in Kelso for gas.

no road trip for you :P

 

Its still a beautiful drive. Shitty part about being where I live, I am the only one around. Datto510 lived about 45 minutes from here and I caravaned with him a few years ago. But that's it. There's a few other datsun guys around here but nobody interested in the datsun game.

 

This is my fourth year going. Went in 09 for the first time and brought the wife. This year I'll bring the girl friend. shes more friendly :D
